Cresta Alta
Parallels of ecological impacts of climate change in Arctic and Andean regions are revealed on glaciological research expeditions in Chile, Alaska, Iceland and Peru. Cresta Alta follows the commitment of scientists who travel deep into the wilderness to gather field data that informs our collective understanding of climate change impacts on our planet. Sustainability initiatives in these same locations offer insight into the potential for viable alternatives and solutions.
In Cresta Alta, join filmmaker, Todd Anders Johnson, on a 10 day backpacking expedition to the McCall Glacier in the Alaskan Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with Dr. Matt Nolan; setting up basecamp at the Gamma Glacier in the Olivares Basin, high in the Chilean Andes with Dr. Sebastian Mernild; trekking to Lake Pacacocha, situated at 15,000 feet in elevation, in the Peruvian Cordillera Blanca with Dr. Rachel Chisolm; joining the Icelandic Glaciological Society jeeping up the Vatnajökull ice cap to conduct ice core drilling and meeting with the President of Iceland to discuss his experiences and perspectives on climate change impacts in Iceland.
The Cresta Alta Film Tour has been engaging audiences with film screenings followed by Q&A and panel discussions throughout Colorado, Alaska, Vermont, Kansas City, Cape Cod and Nantucket with the participation of community sustainability and clean energy leaders as well as legislators such as Colorado Senator Dylan Roberts, Colorado Speaker of the House Representative, Julie McCluskie and Massachusetts Senator Julian Cyr.
